Al Marsh: Scott Walker Death Threat

UPDATE, January 25, 2012: Mark Belling reports that Al Marsh is, in fact, a city of Milwaukee employee, as stated on his Facebook page.

Belling says that Marsh has made some additional Facebook posts, including defending his "Scott Walker must die" threat as free speech.

He believes he has the right to threaten the life of Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin.

Truly sick and deranged.

Looking through Marsh's photos on Facebook is revealing.

His decision to post this is kind of scary:



Marsh also has a photo of the Capitol building in Madison from March 5, 2011, with the caption, "We arrive at the capital."

It's clear that Marsh dislikes Governor Walker enough to have made the trip to Madison to protest. He's an activist.

With a photo of the protest captioned "40,000 strong," Marsh comments: "This is how I spent my Saturday."

Another photo from March 5, in Madison: "The assault begins."

"Assault"? Marsh's choice of words suggests violence, not a peaceful protest.

Some of his other photos from the same day:

"Protest rally marchers."

"Fellow protesters in the capital."

Marsh isn't just a guy writing dumb stuff online. He's actively involved in the anti-Scott Walker movement.

I hope law enforcement is thoroughly investigating Marsh.

The guy really creeps me out.

"Scott Walker must die."

A stable person, at least 50 years old, doesn't post that.

Has Governor Scott Walker received yet another death threat on the Internet?

According to Mark Belling, an investigation is underway.

To date, online death threats against Scott Walker have been made with impunity.

Belling has posted the link to a screen shot of the "I Stand with Scott Walker" Facebook page showing a threatening post made by Facebook user "Al Marsh."

The individual writing from Marsh's account was very clear. The person wrote:

Scott Walker must die.

Short and sweet.

Who is Al Marsh?

He went to South Division High School, class of 1979, and lives in Milwaukee. He lists his present employers as "City of Milwaukee" and "Milwaukee World Festivals, Inc." as a security supervisor.



Did someone use Marsh's account to make the threatening post?

Did he write it?

It's possible Marsh is a victim in this situation.

It's also possible that he is responsible for writing "Scott Walker must die" on the "I Stand with Scott Walker" Facebook page.

If city of Milwaukee employee Marsh posted that threatening statement on Facebook, he should get more than a slap on the wrist. Such behavior is inexcusable. These threats against the Governor's life must stop. Why is this stuff tolerated and dismissed as harmless?

It's not harmless. Only a thug would write something like that.

We know with certainty that someone wrote the post, and that individual should be held accountable for threatening the life of Wisconsin's governor.

This is completely unacceptable.

I wonder how many online threats Jim Doyle received while in office as governor.

How many were ignored?
